Best Horror movies to watch ???

Some good recommendations like I saw the devil and r point.

Not seen it mentioned, but a French horror called inside is rather good.

I see caff mentioned it

Its amusing but wouldn't call it horror.

Original dead trilogy
Susperia
Trauma
Creepers/phenomina
Dawn of the dead 2004
Slither (silly but fun)
The mist (best ending ever!)
Odd Thomas was a bit cheesy but quite enjoyable
Safe heaven from vhs2, worst watching the rest of that crap for that segment
Audition
Orphan
Frontiers

A Serbian film is just pointless, creating uncomfortable scenes doesn't automatically make a good horror film.
 
Oh another recommendation from me... 'Return of the Living Dead'. This is a very tongue in cheek zombie film that started a few conventions of its own... notably full on running zombies and the idea of "BRAINNNNZ!"

It's probably my favorite zombie film and its certainly the most fun, taking silly pokes at other well-established zombie rules. I got to love how the plot starts ".... did you ever see that creepy movie.... Night of the Living Dead?!" :D

Shaun of The Dead isn't really a horror film is it :p It's a comedy.
Cracking film though!
 
From beyond
Friday the 13th (all 500 odd of them)

and if you want something totally stupid then the Nostril picker.... still a better horror the most of the modern trash thats released!

Watched it recently, it really isn't scary.

At the time of it's release I imagine it was. The threat was still very really. It was only four or five years after it's release that the USSR collapsed.

While it's not "scary" for me, as I was too young to understand the threat posed by M.A.D, when I first watched it as a teen, I found it horribly bleak and depressing (I still do actually as I have it on DVD and ripped to my NAS, so it's on rotation). Same with quite a few nuclear holocaust films. The other stand out one is "When the wind blows". It may be a cartoon, but it's up there with Threads as a hugely depressing and bleak film. It's kind of like Britain's Grave Of The Fireflies. Which is funny since just a few years before WTWB, the same people made The Snowman, which is a feel good institution.

Watched Threads in school. Pretty sure they held back the broadcast as it was deemed too real and would cause mass panic. The government told people, in the event of a nuclear bomb, to place their mattresses against the doors and/or windows. Of course, that would do naff all in the event of an explosion, and Threads showed this.

Believe it or not, the nuclear event in Terminator 2, was seen as one of the most accurate depictions of a nuclear bomb on television. :)
 
Glad I found this thread as I was about to employ my googlefu to find some decent horror to watch but no need as this thread delivers.

Starting with the mist and the grudge tonight. Cheers peeps. :)

Kill List has already been mentioned but it gets another recommendation from me purely for the unsettling feeling it left me with at the end - which is what I always judge a horror film by. A proper twisted ending!
